Demidov Studio London 37 Heath Hurst Road, London NW3 2RU

"The Demidov Technique and Andrei Biziorek have helped show me (not just tell me) that I am enough as an artist. There is a reason this technique was taught during the time of Stanislavski. It differs from method acting and in a way it's more of a spiritual approach. There is so much more to say on this but I cannot recommend enough taking the time to check out a class at DSL. I will say that during my first class experience I was moved by just watching these actors work and getting to experience Andrei teach. It was as if all egos were set aside. It was just about the work. No comparing others, no boasting, no hours of teacher stories. The focus was on sharing the technique. Every actor got to work at least once during each class. The result was this authenticity that I had never seen in acting classes. During the last nine months of studying with Andrei I have grown as a student and artist. I stopped worrying so much if I was right and if what I was doing was right. I didn't force myself to feel or do anything and I felt more than I have ever felt on camera or stage. I have watched the other actors in my studio group grow tremendously in their work. There is dedication, kindness, and support that Andrei shares with us. He is not just an acting teacher. DSL is this incredible family of support; support for each others work and value of our time. Did I mention we are from all over the world? I am fortunate to get to work with this group and take classes sometimes 2 to 3 times a week. The Demidov technique is a gift for all actors because it is not over complicated. It requires dedication and practice but you will experience a life changing shift in your work. These classes currently happen over zoom so you can be anywhere."

"I have been taking classes with Andrei for 4 months now and I have to say he’s the most professional acting teacher I have ever talked to. The best part about his classes is that they help you not only in acting but also in daily life. His methods and teachings helps develop more awareness and mindfulness, he digs deep in to every subject or question you will have and will never leave you feeling unworthy or unsatisfied. During his class every student feels important and secure. After taking only few classes I felt a huge difference and was able to prepare for auditions with ease. Highly recommend!"

"I find myself looking forward to the next time as soon as the class ends! I was very curious about Demidov’s teachings and after the first workshop I attended I knew I had stumbled across a practice that works, from the start and core, with the depth and freedom in art I had been looking for. I was inspired to keep working with Andrei and to further explore the Demidov technique. I have worked in various different creative environments, and while practicing with DSL I sense that Andrei’s dedication, to creating a relaxed space and one that really initiates the individuals creative freedom and process, Is always present."

"I started taking classes at the Demidov Studio London a few months ago, on the recommendation of a friend, and it was probably the best acting decision I've ever made. The technique is amazing in terms of connecting you to a more truthful way of being as an actor, and it's taught here so well you can't help but benefit from it. Andrei is an amazing teacher - he creates a safe space to learn and grow whilst constantly guiding you to be better. If you need to restore some faith in yourself as an artist, or simply want to improve yourself as a performer, I can't recommend the Demidov Studio London highly enough. And although it's slightly outside the scope of this review, I feel like the grounding nature of the technique has benefits in areas of life beyond 'just' performing. Give it a try and see - you might surprise yourself! x"

"Great technique with very experienced knowledgeable teachers teaching it. Definitely recommend to anyone starting acting as well as to those with more experience. I started Demidov school over a year ago and I am hooked. I have studied a variety of acting techniques over the years and almost gave up acting after various experiences at drama schools and in the industry. Demidov school London is a great friendly and empathetic environment where you can build confidence and creative habits and learn the most authentic kind of acting. I have learned so much from both the teachers and students here and plan to continue with this training for the foreseeable future. Definitely recommend doing a taster workshop!"
